Chapter 40
Hearing the voice, everyone was stunned. Then they all looked over and found that it was Fade.
Howard was angry and shouted, "Fade, what do you mean?"
Fade didn't even look at Howard. He took a step forward and said to Mr. Wu, "There's something wrong with this wine. You can't drink it."
"Fade, what are you talking about? How can there be any problem with my wine? You are slandering me." Howard hurriedly shouted and then explained to Mr. Wu, "The wine is absolutely fine. I specifically..."
Before Howard could finish his explanation, Mr. Wu looked at Fade and asked, "Mr. Chen, you said there's something wrong with this wine and I can't drink it. What do you mean?"
Beside him, Quin quietly pinched Fade's arm and flashed him a look of warning. Fade smiled at her, nodded slightly, and then said to Mr. Wu, "Mr. Wu, this wine is not suitable for you. If I'm not wrong, you have minor cardiovascular problems, am I right? Drinking this wine will only make it worse."
"Oh, how do you know my condition?" Mr. Wu was a little surprised. Fade was right about his problem.
Fade said blandly, "I'm a doctor."
Mr. Wu still had questions for him, but Howard stepped forward and said, "Mr. Wu, his words are just nonsense and deliberately targeted at offending me. Besides, red wine has the function of softening blood vessels. So it should help your cardiovascular problem, how can it worsen the disease? He obviously wants to provoke me."
Howard winked to the people behind him, signaling them to help him.
Immediately, many entrepreneurs who were familiar with him stood up and spoke for Howard.
"Mr. Chen, we saw the conflict between you and Howard. But you should not use such a lowly method to slander Howard." One of them said.
"The gift Howard gave to Mr. Wu was carefully selected. How could there be any problem? This kind of slander is simply ridiculous." Someone continued to say.
"In my opinion, it was because he saw that Mr. Zhang's gift was so good that he deliberately found an excuse to stop Mr. Wu from tasting the wine. He was worried that
Mr. Zhang would steal Quin's spotlight."
In the midst of the discussion, many people nodded their heads, as if they had seen through Fade's guise and even brought Quin into the discussion.
Howard glanced proudly at Fade, who had become the target of public criticism. Then Howard turned to Mr. Wu and said with confidence, "Mr. Wu, I can guarantee that there is nothing wrong with my wine. Please have a taste."
Mr. Wu looked at the wine and sniffed. Perhaps Mr. Wu was really tempted by this rare wine, or perhaps he didn't want to embarrass Howard. So Mr. Wu picked up the glass and said, "Then I'll have a try."
He looked at Fade and said, "Thank you for your concern, Mr. Chen. But I have no other hobbies but to taste good wine. When I meet good wine, I can't help but want to have a try." Mr. Wu did this to not left Fade in embarrassment.
Mr. Wu then picked up the glass and took a sip. After tasting for a few seconds, his eyes lit up, and then he drank several times in a row. Finally, he sighed and said, "Good wine, it's really good! Howard, thanks for this."
Upon hearing this, Howard beamed proudly.
Howard deliberately looked at Fade and Quin, and the provocative look in his eyes was very clear.
However, Fade was indifferent and ignored Howard's provocation. Fade quietly took out a cloth bag from his arms and spread it on the table. Fade then pulled out the silver needles inside it and began to disinfect them one by one.
Seeing this, Howard frowned and shouted, "Fade, what are you doing?"
Fade said lightly, "I just said that there is something wrong with your wine, and Mr. Wu can't drink it. So, I am preparing silver needles in advance for an emergency."
"You are still talking nonsense. Are you cursing Mr. Wu?" Howard said viciously.
Hearing this, Quin quickly poked Fade's arm and gave him a wink to remind him of his place.
Fade gently pinched Quin's hand, showing a comforting smile, and continued to disinfect the silver needles. "We'll see who's right and who's wrong later."
Upon hearing this, everyone's expression changed and they began to discuss discreetly. They whispered amongst themselves that Quin had found such a terrible husband that had offended Mr. Wu. In the future, Fei Enterprises Holdings Inc would not be able to survive in Bay City for long.
Even Mr. Wu himself could not help but frown slightly. After all, no one wanted to be cursed to be ill on their birthday.
Witnessing this, Howard quickly poured a glass of wine for Mr. Wu. "Mr. Wu, calm down. Let me toast to you another glass of wine."
Mr. Wu raised his glass and was about to drink it.
But just as the wine glass was moving closer to Mr. Wu's mouth, his hand shook violently and his eyes over before he collapsed.
All of a sudden, the scene was in chaos.
Fortunately, Mr. Wu's personal doctor was present and immediately came over. After checking Mr. Wu's condition, he hurriedly said to Mindy, "No way, it's a heart attack. It's more serious than usual."
"Doctor Lee, please treat him immediately!" Mindy was also anxious.
But Doctor Lee looked helpless and said, "Miss Wu, I don't have any instruments and medicine with me so I can't conduct any procedure now. Please send him to the hospital as soon as possible."
Mindy quickly took out her mobile phone and made an emergency call. As for Howard, he was completely dumbfounded. The wine splashed all over his body, but he was too shocked to care about it.
At this time, Fade had disinfected all the silver needles. Fade came over and said, "Mr. Wu condition is urgent now. It will be too late to send him to the hospital. Let me treat him." Dr Lee looked suspicious and stopped in front of Fade. "Are you a Chinese traditional doctor? Can a Chinese traditional doctor treat heart disease?"
Fade didn't intend to argue with him. Fade just said to Mindy, "Mindy, Mr. Wu's illness is too urgent. We can't delay it any longer."
At this moment, Howard also came back to his senses and quickly came over with concern. He stood with Dr. Lee and said, "Miss Wu, you can't believe this guy! The most important thing now is to send Mr. Wu to the hospital. I have contacted my private hospital and have had the emergency room prepared." Mindy was a little hesitant. Mr. Wu's face was getting redder and redder, and his body started to twitch violently. His condition was getting worse and worse.
Fade's face became very serious and he said, "Miss Wu, I have to perform acupuncture on Mr. Wu immediately, otherwise it will be difficult to ensure he makes a full recovery."
Howard quickly stepped forward to stop them. "Miss Wu, you can't believe these lies!"
Mindy looked at her father and then looked at Fade. Finally, she gritted her teeth and nodded, "Mr. Chen, I believe you. Please save my father." Content from NôvelDr(a)ma.Org.
Fade nodded and pushed Howard away.
Howard looked anxious and wanted to say something to Mindy, but Mindy waved her hand to stop him.
Under everyone's gaze, Fade placed Mr. Wu's body flat, untied his collar button, pressed gently on Mr. Wu's chest, and then took out a silver needle and decisively stabbed it into Mr. Wu's heart.
